No. Because it would discourage rape victims from coming forward. What should be done to limit the imprisonment of people who've been falsely accused of rape is to raise the standard of evidence that lead to a conviction.

Good Idea Or Bad Idea?
And if you think "BAD IDEA".
Can You explain why?

They should be severely punished, yes. As much as a rapist would be if the crime was proven true? I'm not so sure. Still, enough to make anyone think twice about flippantly accusing anyone of something like that. Though in saying that, proving that someone is lying should be done with the same expectation of proof as proving that someone did it.
There's still that massive bracket that involves them not being able to prove that the person was raped, but not being able to prove that the person was lying either.

Originally posted by FlyattractorPeople who lie about being raped should be punished and/or sued for defamation. They make it That Much More difficult for genuine rape victims to get justice, as well as possibly ruining the life of the falsely accused.

Nice hashtag mate. 🙂
Honest question for those who would be in support of this. Would u be in favor of this for false accusations for every other crime, and would u extend this this to knowingly providing false witness statements to police and/or false testimony at trial which could potentially take away someones freedom.
Originally posted by Raptor22Good and Interesting post, morally yes, but as you suggest the logistics would be impossible. I do think a falsely accused person for rape could be a special case, but I'm not sure.

If you are a legit rape victim I don't know why strict laws against lying about rape would prevent you from coming forward.
Accusing someone of rape and lacking solid evidence to back your claims is NOT the same as lying about rape.
Would someone say that making it a crime to falsely report a crime deters people from reporting actual crimes?

Women in this day and age are vindictive and shallow... wow!
The average younger American Woman? A significant portion, yes. These types are vain, shallow, entitled, and disloyal.
I just went through the dating game gauntlet and saw far too much of this from the opposite sex. Some of this can be blamed on the toxicity of the Millennial generation and Social Media (not mutually exclusive).
But sorry to burst bubbles, a significant portion of young American men aren't any better.
More on the topic, I call this type of woman the "White American Basic B*tch." Even white people are tired of the Basic B*tch persona. Seems it is fading out and not tolerated as much among Gen Z which is great. Let the Basic B*tch personality die.
The men have the incels, f*ckboys, and douchebags groups.
Originally posted by dadudemonI pity American men and women then. Although I have dated two Americans and never had any problems beyond the usual break up emotions with either. Guess I was lucky!

Except that's not how the contemporary judiciary functions. Only one case is handled at a time in order to minimize bias on behalf of the judge and jurry.But lying under oath is punishable.
Not in the US. You're tried for indictments in the same case. This is why you see, for publicized court cases, the judge read off the jury verdicts on indictment counts (now conviction counts).
Or are you talking about Civil cases (tort)? It's the same.
You may have a kinder more modern judicial system in your home country than the US.
